The Terps take on George Mason in the 17th and perhaps last BB&T Classic tomorrow. I say last because Coach Turgeon indicated in an interview that this may be Maryland's finale in the local game. He points to the lack of attendance as one reason. Turgeon put words to an incredibly disturbing trend. Where are our fans?&nb [...] Read More »

It's a Turtle Soup Reunion / Road Trip!
Both Gregg and I will be in attendance in the gorgeous Welsh-Ryan Arena. This will be my first look at this year's squad.
All I know about Northwestern is that their arena sucks and they run the Princeton offense. They are also undefeated. I would expect that only one team will [...] Read More »

Our football team is playing hard but virtually unable to do anything offensively. Even so, they merit some space on today's game thread.
The bigger game is against Georgia Southern at Comcast Center. The basketball team needs play much better than what we saw in the second half vs. Lafayette. Granted, Lafayette was on fire hitting 1 [...] Read More »

Terps open the home slate tonight vs Moorhead State. Moorhead appears to be frisky (senior laden, make lots of 3's); but this is still Cupcake City for the Terps. I'll be disappointed with anything less than a 20 point win here.
I'm interested to see if the Terps are able to improve their shooting performance from Friday. Faust [...] Read More »

The Terps will attempt to redefine the term "Linebacker U" as a freshman reserve linebacker will start at quarterback. How we got here has been well documented. It will either be a legendary moment or a laughable one.
Let's hope for the former.

I'm getting this up right at kickoff. Sorry for the delay. I've been at a sales conference all week. Terps have a chance to make a statement that they are for real today.
A won and Maryland is a legit division contender and a likely bowl participant. It should be a defensive battle and come down to the wire.
Go Terps!

Despite all the bluster of the Duke - UNC rivalry; I've always believed that the ACC never really had rivalries in the same way other conferences do. To me, every team is a rival. I don't particularly want to beat Georgia Tech anymore than I want to beat Clemson. However, if Maryland has a rival; its UVA.

This is a big sports weekend for anyone from Baltimore. The Orioles will be playing in their first playoff game in 15 years. While that in and of itself is notable; what's more interesting is how the Orioles got to this point. At 93-69, the 2012 Orioles have turned in one of the best seasons the franchise has had in 30 years and t [...] Read More »

I am shortly boarding a plane for 8 hours and I'm not going to have time to do a full analysis of tomorrow's game.
Suffice it to say that the Terps will have their hands full with the 8th ranked team in the nation. In particular, the Mountaineer offense will pose a stiff challenge. The Terps defense has been relatively stout s [...] Read More »

The Edsall Bowl. There are only two states in the Union that care about this matchup tomorrow. We just happen to go to school in one of them. For the Terps, tomorrow's game represents the opportunity to get to an improbable 3-0. In the Terps way is an offensively challenged UConn squad.
NC State barely escaped thei [...] Read More »
